My vote sadly goes to this place.
Its so bad for me at times that I think I'm doing something wrong ?
Maybe a fire wall problem or something else maybe ?
Whatever, Its so bad for me, I stay away for ages . . . . It has felt a bit dead for a while ?
Same for any one else , or any other websites that are just slow by design ?
... Or is there a fix to speed this one up for me ?

for me personally this site is fine and is nowhere near as slow as you are saying it is, not sure why its that slow for you
and at the moment i would say xbox.com is the slowest i visit, and sadly by quite a bit

Seems to be the latest posts slidy thing that runs along the top that slows things down for me. Have to wait for that to get going before I can doing anything. Pretty annoying when going into the different sections of the forum.

If you're not already doing so, use Firefox.
I could go on about Firefox being better all round than IE, which imo it is, but the point I'm making is that XBLA is optimised for Firefox
You'll be surprised how much faster the site is when using it...

I myself don't find this website slow at all, but then again I use FireFox like L0CI, but if you are having problems see my guide here on speeding up Internet Explorer or FireFox here.
There are also other ways such as turning off everyone's signatures, avatars, images and smilies and/or cutting down the amount of posts and threads that are viewed per forum, you can do this yourself in "My Controls" /board settings, lazy link here. You may also want to speed your PC up, guide here.
I have optimised the website earlier on tonight, so you may see a difference, let me know if any of those suggestions help.

I was having a small bit of slow down , until I upgraded to IE7 , the site now flies along at a happier pace for me and I have no complaints , maybe it`s time to spring clean your PC and have a fiddle under the bonnet , you`ll be surprised at what can be achieved with a few minor tweaks

I occaisionally get slowdown but also happens with other sites at the same time, the net does throw up strange stuff, par for the course. I also use Firefox, tried it years ago & never looked back, surprised people still use IE

agree with joe there, ive only been using firefox for about a month now and at first i didnt really see how it would make a difference but the improvement since using firefox on my pc is huuuuuge... so much faster and easier to navigate than IE in my opinion

Yep this site used to be slow for me too.
Switch to Firefox and you'll never look back.

The vote for the slowest site ever for me has to be tesco.com, that site is atrocious. I avoid it like the plague

Ditto Safegrey, sometimes I cannot get on this site at all, which I think might be a traffic issue I dunno. Anywho XBLA really does work a LOT better in FireFox!
